Notions of Originality

"Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration all fuels your imagination."
The idea of something being original is the aspect of something being new. It has not been reproduced or forged. Past artwork has a big impact on contemporary pieces, many pieces being recontextualised and turned into something new, making it unoriginal. This can also be called paying homage to a particular artist or piece of art.
 

It is clear to see in pictures above that Matteo has taken inspiration from Andy Warhol pop painting of Marilyn Monroe, but giving it his own modern twist, the colours are similar but the composition is different and using a contemporary model. By sticking to Andy Warhol pop art colours it means painting by Matteo is recognisable.
